Tim Tebow begins super-secret Wildcat practice with Jets. Shhh.

Pssst, the New York Jets are working on their Wildcat offense. You know, the one with Tim Tebow. But .... shhhhh. Don’t make a peep.

At a closed practice with no fans and only a couple dozen media members in attendance, the Jets ran through the formation today in training camp. In accordance with team rules, media members were not allowed to describe what they saw. That did not, however, keep reporters from asking the team’s two quarterbacks, Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow, about the formation. They weren’t particularly helpful.

The guns of August.

“I didn't know there would be this much interest,” Tebow said. “I don't know if it's secretive. We're running our offense and our plays and our reads. It's part of the offense for us.”

Don’t expect to see it in a preseason game. The Jets, who had previously used the formation only once in training camp before today, didn’t use it Friday night in their preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals and aren’t expected to use it against the New York Giants.

“We don’t even know really what our game plans are yet,” Tebow said. "We’re just trying to execute the plays they call. Hopefully I can add something to this team, I feel like that’s why I'm here. But whatever I can do to help, I’m going to do it with all my heart.”
